Cool one! Thankfully postgres allows creating indexes concurrently (without blocking writes) but 'hypothetical indexes' seem more convenient.

What would be even cooler though is the ability to see multiple plans considered (and rejected) by the planner with all associated costs. It often takes a lot of painful guesswork to understand why particular superior plan is not used.
